“A new Gallup poll found that only a third of America’s baby boomers and thirty percent of those aged 18-39 believe marriage is ‘’very important'’ if a couple has a child together, compared to 58 percent of adults 65 and over.”
“In the bigger picture, the Gallup poll found that 71 percent of all Americans believe marrying is “very important” or “somewhat important” when a couple has a child together. This figure jumped to 85 percent when asked of the importance of marriage when a couple plans to spend lives together.”
This poll is yet another sign that marriage as an institution in the United States is in decline. The high rate of divorce definitely discourages people from giving marriage a chance.
